What do you know about the deathly hallows
The thing that the final book in the Harry Potter series was focused on was the deathly hallows
It was beautifully animated, and so well done in the films, but they didn't cover the entire story
There's so much more to it, and it goes so deeply that it actually links Harry and Voldemort as distant relatives in this video
I'm going to discuss the Deathly Hallows and explain to you their
Creation all the way to where they end up at the end of the series
The story starts with the tale of the three brothers or the Peverrel brothers the three cheat death and death pretended to
Congratulate them and gave each one of them a prize
Antioch Peverrel the oldest brother asked for a wand more powerful
than any. The second brother
Cadmus Peverrel asked for a way to bring the love of his life back from the dead and death gave him a stone that could
do just that and
Finally Ignotus Peverill asked for a way to leave that day and not be followed by death for the rest of his life
So death gave him part of his own invisibility cloak just as death had planned the objects he had given to Antioch and Cadmus
led to their deaths
Antioch bragged of his invincibility and was killed by someone who wanted the wand for themselves Cadmus ended up committing
Suicide to join the love of his life after the stone had given her back
But it wasn't the same he was unable to touch her and she was miserable being back among the living
Ignotus Peverrel however lived the rest of his life hidden from death just as he had plans
Until he passed the cloak down to his own son and greeted death like an old friend
The legend says that if you possess all three of the Deathly Hallows the wand the stone and the cloak and you are the master
of death together
They make one the master of death when Harry asked Dumbledore if the Peverrel brothers in the tale of the three brothers were real
Dumbledore responded saying oh yes, I think so whether they met death on a lonely road
I think it more likely that the Peverrel brothers were simply gifted
dangerous wizards who succeeded in creating those powerful
Objects the story of them being deaths own Hallows seems to me to be the sort of legend that might have sprung around such creations
So what came of the three Deathly Hallows both the stone and the cloak were kept in the family and were passed down
generation after generation
For the cloak it was passed down to Ignotus Peverrel's family until they had no more male heirs
So it was eventually passed down to the daughters
Which eventually led to the Potter family and one of the female heirs married Hardwin Potter
Skipping ahead to the 20th century
It was passed down to Fleamont Potter and then his son James Potter
And I'll continue with that in a minute
After Cadmus patrolled the resurrection stone was fitted to a ring and that ring was passed down as a family
Heirloom for the Peverrel family and events led to the gaunt family as the ring was passed down
No, one knew the true nature of its abilities and what it was capable of as one of the deathly hallows
Eventually it was passed down to Marvolo Gaunt who was Tom Riddle's or Lord
Voldemort's grandfather Marvolo passed down the ring to his son Morfin Gaunt when Voldemort was still in school at Hogwarts
He stole the ring from Morfin and used it to make one of his Horcruxes
He then hid it in the house that his grandfather
Uncle and mother had lived in and put magical enchantments and protections on it to keep it safe
The reason these two hollows are so interesting it's because they linked the hero of the story and the villain of the story
Because both Hallows the cloak and the stone were passed down to both harry and Voldemort's family
We know Harry is descendant of Ignotus Peverrel
And we know that Voldemort is descendant of Cadmus Peverrel, Ignotus and Cadmus were brothers
Meaning the Harry and Voldemort are descendants from the same family
Which means that they're actually related. While the cloak in the resurrection stone were kept in the family the Elder Wand was not
Antioch Peverrel, the original holder of the Elder Wand
Killed a man in a bar who he had a quarrel with in the past, and he drunkenly bragged about his power
now that I said earlier
he was killed in his sleep and the murderer took the wands making it leave the
Family the way wands work in the Wizarding world is if you win a duel overpower them
Or if you kill them you become the possessor of their wands and the wand will serve you. As we learned in the first book
"The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter
It's not always clear why"
If you aren't chosen by the wand or you didn't defeat the person whose wand you stole it won't work correctly for you
Which would be important later on. The man that killed Antioch became the rightful owner of the wand because he had killed the previous owner
The wand was passed through various owners throughout many years
Usually through violent means. The one that many names other than the Elder Wand
Throughout the many years of it being passed from owner to owner
Such as the death stick or the wand of Destiny there are many things
Added throughout wasn't in history of the wands bloody trail the first recorded mention of the wand and wizard history after
Antioch Peverrel was Emeric the evil who was an aggressive wizard who terrorized the South of England in the Middle Ages
He was slaughtered in a ferocious duel by Egbert the egregious
Who took possession of the Elder Wand after his defeat of Emeric the evil. A century later
a wizard name Godelo was the next known master of the wands
He used the wand as a guide to learn and let the one teach him about the dark arts he would use that information
To write a book called magic most evil that was all about dark magic
Godelot was locked in the Attic by his own son who left his father there to perish so that he would have possession
Over the wands the next owner to have possession of the wand was a wizard name Barnabas Deverill in the 18th century
He used the wand to make a reputation for himself as a fearsome warlock
He was killed by a wizard named
Loxias who was the next owner of the wand and was the one that named it the death stick
It's unknown exactly who killed him because he was so well known that many people claim to have killed him
Including Loxias' own mother. Now we get some more recent history, wizard name Gregorovitch had the wand in the late 1800s
He's a wand maker so naturally he was intrigued by the wand and tried duplicating its powers
He spread the word that he had the wand and that he was trying to replicate it hoping that he would bring in more business
This through the attention of a boy named Gellert
Grindelwald who snuck into Gregorovitch shop, stunned him ensuring mastery over the wands took the Elder Wand and jumped out a window
Gregorovitch never knew who stolen a little bit before that
Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore had become close and they bonded over the pursuit of the Deathly Hallows this eventually led to the death of Ariana,
Dumbledore's little sister and Grindelwald fled immediately
And that's when he went to get the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch
Grindelwald used the wand as he became one of the most dangerous and well known wizarding tyrants
Dumbledore answered pleas of the Wizarding World to face Grindelwald and to stop his reign of terror
Dumbledore defeated him in battle
And he gained possession of the Elder Wand Dumbledore was always fascinated in the Hallows even in his later years
Although he had given up pursuit of the Hallows years earlier when he saw James Potter's cloak
Dumbledore asked if he could borrow it to examine it it was far older and far more perfect than any invisibility cloak that
Dumbledore had ever seen and he knew it was one of the Deathly Hallows
James was killed shortly after Dumbledore asked to borrow it Dumbledore was now in possession of two of the three Hallows
10 years later when James's son Harry came to Hogwarts Dumbledore was still in possession of the cloak and he anonymously
Gave it to Harry for Christmas to ensure that it would continue to be passed down and its rightful family
Many years later Dumbledore discovered Voldemort's secrets about his Horcruxes
And he found the ring with the resurrection stone and Voldemort grandfather's house
He got past the magical enchantments and took it when he realized it was the resurrection
Stone his obsession with the Deathly Hallows took over he put the ring on completely forgetting. It was a Horcrux
It poisoned him and Snape stopped it from spreading past his hands
But Snape told him he only had a year to live. Dumbledore then destroyed the Horcrux with the Sword of Gryffindor
Because he was still in possession of the Elder Wand and because he was going to die anyway
Dumbledore devised a plan to have Snape kill in this plan ensures that Snape would not defeat Dumbledore because Dumbledore asked Snape
to kill him so there will be no true owner of the wands because no one would've beaten
Dumbledore and the wands dangerous power would never be abused again unfortunately it didn't go as planned
Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore before Snape killed him
This meant that Drako defeated Dumbledore and therefore Draco won possession of the elder wands the wand however was buried with Dumbledore until
Voldemort took it out of his grave later that year Harry overpowered Draco who was still the rightful owner of the wand and since Harry
Overpowered him it made Harry the rightful owner of the Elder Wand because he beat its previous master
"It was Draco who disarmed Dumbledore that night in the Astronomy tower
from that moment on
The wand answered him until the other night when I disarmed Draco"- "so that means?
It's mine"
Harry was now the master of two of the three Deathly Hallows the cloak and the elder wands before his death
Dumbledore took the snitch that Harry caught in his first Quidditch game and put the resurrection stone inside of it
He then put it in his will to Harry. When Harry got it, he saw a message on it
That said 'I open at the close'
Right before Harry was going to let himself die he realized what the message meant he spoke the words
I'm ready to die and the snitch opened to reveal the resurrection stone Harry was now in possession of all three of the Deathly Hallows
making him the master of death
There's a theory that Harry didn't die because he was the master of death owning all three of the Deathly Hallows
Which is an interesting theory but unfortunately it's not the real reason
Why Harry didn't die which many people don't know
Because become such a well-known and accepted theory the real reason he didn't die was actually explained in the chapter Kings Cross in the final
Book when Harry is hit by the killing curse. He sees Dumbledore who explains the exact reason
Why Harry didn't die and it has nothing to do with the Deathly Hallows or being the master of death
Dumbledore says it's because of the protection that his mother gave him when she
Sacrificed herself to save Harry when he was a baby the agenda was supposed to work until he turned
Seventeen due to him calling the Dursleys house his home as long as he lived with petunia
Who shared Lily's blood the protection lived on. The protection was supposed to go away when he turned
Seventeen and no longer called the Dursleys house his home
however the protection doesn't go away the way it was supposed to this is because
Voldemort used Harry's blood to come back in Goblet of fire
"The Dark Lord shall rise"
Dumbledore says his body keeps her sacrifice alive and while that enchantment survives
So do you. So because Voldemort put Harry's blood in his own body the protection lives on inside of Voldemort
continuing Lily's protection for Harry
Which is why he didn't die
Another cool theory centered around the Deathly Hallows is that Voldemort, Snape and Harry are representations of the three brothers
Voldermort die for power like Antioch
Snape died for love like Cadmus and Harry greeted death like an old friend like he'd notice in the end
Because Harry was the true master of the Elder Wand which Voldemort was still using the wand
Backfired on him because it refused to kill its master at the time
But ultimately what led to Voldemort's downfall and Harry and Voldemort final fight
So what happened to the three Deathly Hallows at the end of the series for the stone according to a Q&A,
Rowling said that Harry dropped the stone in the Forbidden Forest
And the stone was pressed into the ground by Centaurs, while they were charging into battle in the Battle of Hogwarts
The cloak was kept by Harry
And he would pass it down to his own son as for the Elder Wand Harry used it to fix his own original wands that
Have been broken earlier in the final book normally a wand is unrepairable
But since it was the most powerful wand in the world and Harry was the true master of it
Harry was able to repair his own wand successfully Harry
Then snapped the Elder Wand in half to make sure that no one is ever able to abuse its power again
Harry gave up the power to be the master of death something that not even Albus Dumbledore could resist showing just how incredible and pure-hearted
the hero of our favorite story is
"Harry, you're a wonderful boy,
Brave brave man"
